Operational Overview
Registration Window End
This parameter defines the end of the Registration Sensor Valid Window relative to start position of this index. This is an
unsigned value and is relative only to starting position of this index. Index direction does not affect this parameter. The
Registration Window End position (or distance) should be greater than the Registration Window Start position. If a
registration sensor is seen outside of this window (not between the WindowStart and WindowEnd positions) then it will be
ignored.
Calculations Tab
This tab is used to display the specific motion parameters based on the distance, velocity, acceleration, and deceleration
entered into the parameters above. Calculations are displayed as "Commanded" calculations and do not take into
consideration any limitations that the drive and motor selection may introduce into the system.
Start Position
This parameter is used when the index type is selected to be an Absolute index. Given this case PowerTools Pro uses the
position entered as the starting position of the index in order to display calculations accurately.
Index Distance
This parameter displays the calculated amount of distance that the index will travel throughout the entire motion.
Acceleration Distance
This parameter displays the calculated amount of distance that the motor will travel while the index is accelerating. The
Acceleration Distance is based completely on calculated motion and does not include any limitations that might be introduced
by the drive, motor, and load variables.
At Velocity Distance
This parameter displays the calculated amount of distance that the index will travel at the velocity specified in the velocity
parameter. The At Velocity Distance is based completely on calculated motion and does not include any limitations that might
be introduced by the drive, motor, and load variables.
Deceleration Distance
This parameter displays the calculated amount of distance that the motor will travel while the index is decelerating. The
deceleration distance is based completely on calculated time and does not include any limitations that might be introduced
by the drive, motor, and load variables.
Peak Velocity Attainable
This parameter stores the calculated peak velocity of the index motion. If the acceleration and deceleration parameters are set
in a fashion that the maximum velocity is not attainable, the peak velocity could be lower than the velocity specified in the
velocity parameter. The Peak Velocity Attainable is based completely on calculated motion and does not include any
limitations that might be introduced by the drive, motor, and load variables.
Index Time
This parameter stores the calculated time that the index will take to complete. This index time is based completely on
calculated time and does not include any limitations that might be introduced by the drive, motor, and load variables.
Acceleration Time
This parameter displays the calculated time that it will take the index to accelerate. The Acceleration Time is based
completely on calculated time and does not include any limitations that might be introduced by the drive, motor, and load
variables.
At Velocity Time
This parameter displays the calculated time that the index will be at its specified velocity as entered in the velocity parameter.
The At Velocity Time is based completely on calculated time and does not include any limitations that might be introduced
by the drive, motor, and load variables.
Deceleration Time
This parameter displays the calculated time that it will take the index to decelerate. The deceleration Tim is based completely
on calculated time and does not include any limitations that might be introduced by the drive, motor, and load variables.
